why can't i update this at home
i have such a hard time making myself sit down and update this when i'm at home. i was going to write another entry to myself in an email and then come home and write it but i ended up being busy at work.
so i've been having some interesting dreams these past few days. mostly in the morning is when i actually remember them. so the other day in my dream both my car and my keys got stolen. and curtis and i forgot to get the locks changed and we came home and all the doors were unlocked but nothing was out of place. and then i was in my parents' house. and there was a black guy wearing a red shirt who kept looking in the windows. and i was following him from room to room as he looked in the windows. he came to an open window (without a screen) and he climbed right in. i was yelling at him, "what are you doing? why are you climbing through my window?" so he walked into the living room and sat on the couch and started to ask me something about if i had seen some kids. but i started yelling at him and pointing..."no! i do not talk to people who just climb in my window! get out! get out!" and then i was pointing at the door and he left. (i demonstrated this part of my dream to curtis with him being the black guy on the couch and he was cracking up). so then a few minutes later there was a bunch of noise and two dogs and two little kids went walking out the front door. and then my stepmother picked up the smaller of the two kids, a little girl, and started throwing her up in the air to make her laugh. the end.
and then this morning was weird. it was something about everyone from the rtc (including the kids) was taking a field trip to another residential treatment facility so we could change things since we just switched over to a new level or whatever. so we all drove somewhere...i got the feeling it was spring grove...it seemed more like a hospital than an RTC. so we get there and everyone takes the kids somewhere and they are going to come back later for the tour. so i just wait with the vehicles which are stopped in the middle of the road. so then i have to pee (oh no! not, an i have to pee dream! don't worry...it didnt spill over into real life. ;-)). so i go inside and the woman gives me some really complicated directions on how to get to the restrooms including going up or down stairs, looking for a white wall, and walking through a coffee shop/cafe (in the hospital! not like a cafeteria...a little eatery, with normal people in it). so i walk around for a while and i really have to pee. so i see these tiny-sized bathrooms in this one place and i think that's it. so i crouch down and squeeze myslef into a box and my butt doesn't even fit all the way on the toilet. i dunno, it was a baby doll toilet or something. so i realize that's not the bathroom i'm supposed to be in. so i walk down the stairs and there's the coffee shop! so i walk through it and finally find the bathrooms. on my way through the cafe these two guys are hitting on me. so i go to the bathroom and leave and run into a staff member from the rtc. apparently with all my bathroom adventure i missed the tour and the meeting. she's showing me the notes she took which are on a crumpled piece of paper written in pink crayon.
this morning there were baby geese in the road on my way out of the apartment complex. i'm glad they respond to car horns better than their parents.
and i wish it could be nice all day for once. i'm getting tired of it being so ugly. i know we're in a drought so the rain is good but a break would be nice.
i applied to consolidate my sallie mae loans today to lock in a low interest rate.
and i almost forgot the most awesome thing! today i got something in the mail from jamie, my americorps team leader. it was a pamphlet from SOLV (the organization we worked with in portland), and a picture of our team is on the front! the picture of us in the bathtub that we pulled out of the river bank. it's so great!
btw, if anyone is interested i have three 98 degrees cds i dont want. i'm at the n's in the alphabet of my cds and i just couldnt listen to them anymore. and not even for posterity's sake. god they suck. and it's totally embarrassing to be listening to their cd with my windows open. but i dont care about listening to nsync! that just makes me laugh.
